Top Secret 2 Report post Posted December 3, 2010 @Nathan, I just cleaned the ICV, and the throttle body. Didn't know how to clean the TPS, so I just disconnected it to see if it made a difference. The car seems to have less hesitation now, but we will see how it works on cold start up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made it a fraction higher than the rear door incase it drops due to use. Good job. Saggy doors are something many take for granted, but by god are they annoying, I experienced problems on a previous car of mine, managed to come up with a fix in the end though.
